Small 8vo. Self-cover. Pp. 417-424. Near fine. Faintly age toned, as usual, else bright and attractive. Single issue (June 20, 1681) from the third volume of this Catholic-bashing weekly whose purpose was to fan the flames of anti-Catholicism supposedly begun by Titus Oates and which gripped England from 1678 to 1681. Oates wanted all Brits and Scots to believe that the Catholic Church in England was trying to assassinate King Charles II. On page 423 a contemporary hand neatly pens "Remarkable" alongside one anecdote about "a famous Virgin, called Juliana." This particular issue was published as the hysteria was waning, and soon afterward Oates was tried for perjury and found guilty. A handsome example.
